I only saw it on japanparts.com, but try contacting nismo if they have a number and asking for a few distributors? Sorry if that wasn't any help.

I think the current exchange rate is about $1.58 per UK pound if this place is willing to ship overseas.

i emailed ProSpec about nismo parts
you have to pay shipping TWICE

they have to ship it from Japan to the UK and the UK to here. stupid, but something about nismo not liking to drop ship it to the US... so whatevers.

i'll wait for the FLT-A2 from JiC. they're freakin tight.
oversized piston. adjustable STRUT body so there is no loss in travel. coilovers. and full rebound/dampening adjustment

That isn't a issue with NISMO. Sounds like a shipping issue. There shipping company won't ship anywhere but to the company who has ordered the parts. We bring in NISMO without any of those issues. I would go with the HKS dampers instead of the JIC's.

retail pricing......somwhere between $2500 to $4500.....
They are not a cheap set up by any means but for performance....if you want the best , there is no better shock on a sedan style car.
I have raced on a lot of different shocks, and Motons are the only ones where 1 click on bump or rebopund has made a nigt and day difference. They make setting up the car a lot easier. And they hold up very well.
Also forgot to mention canister preasure as another adjustment.

Hope they aren't a race coil. Standby for a jail dropping ride. Plus that is really big $$$ for coils. Sound like they have everything. Adj. pillow mounts??

Adj pillow mounts for what? The car does not have a strut suspension. Scary that the people trying to sell stuff here don't know what they are talking about.

Full adjustable coil over suspensions for street cars are simply overkill. My experience is that at a track day you usually end up going backwards because you concentrate so much on adjusting the suspension instead of driving. When you are only getting 4 or 5 30 minute sessions I would rather have the suspension set and just concetrate on having fun. OVERKILL!!!!

I thought on a coil-over suspension the spring was on the stut with and you just adjusted it with the nut under the spring....so that would'nt even relate to our cars being that the spring and strut are completley serperated right. So if you were wanting some kind of ajustability what would you use. air bags...hahaha not in this life time I wouldnt on this car.

I think my post said clearly that the Motons where def more of a track/ race setup than a daily driver and since our car is not a daily driver.......
Anywho.......some people only read what they wanna read
Yes it will be a coilover in the front but not in the rear. Running 275 in the rear doesnt allow room for a coilover back there.....and if given the choice I would rather have the wider rear tire than a smaller tire with a coilover. We do have a way to adjust ride height very easily in the rear with our new set up.

Default Nismo S-tune suspensions

Hi,

I have invited for test driving of the Nismo S-tune 350Z in Japan when I have been to Japan for Nismo Festival at Fisco.
(Please have a look at the trip report. http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/reports.html)
The suspension system (S-tune suspensions and stabilizers)is far better than stock suspensions.
Much better ride and stability.
By the way, Nismo Weldina Exhaust is quieter than the stock exhaust of the US spec.
It is just because of the difference of regulation between in Japan and the US.
The stock exhaust is louder in the US version than in Japan version.

Yours,
Shin

Quick question, I was thinking about just getting the bars to improve the roll, not much there but could use some improvement, I was wandering if the suspension made it too hard more for track than street or a happy medium, I would like to avoid kidney problems!
